Everyone,
can we please get back to the thread topic:
Does 'end of life' (resp. end of support) for a distribution have to result in its removal from the openSUSE build service ?
From the feedback on opensuse-buildservice, I have the impression that
most participant want a 'freeze' and not a 'remove'.
Comments ? Yes! Although i really understand Adrian's point of view, too. Lets have a look at other projects: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ , ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ The old images are still _available_ but marked as "old" and "unsupported".
I would really propose to leave 10.1 in the BS for some time, but move it to e.g. discontinued: . Also on ftp (repo + update) . So people can softly migrate if needed - but notice it because of changed ftp-space. E.g. what about a popup for YOU (of 10.1) displaying the EOL-Annoucement and propose an update-path after install of latest updates.
